A School Supplies Drive for American Horse School on Pine Ridge Rez

 

 

 

Please take a look at this wishlist from American Horse School on Pine Ridge Reservation. The school had a 24% budget cut for this school year (2025/2026) and I’ve recently learned that their budget for the 2026/2027 school year will not be bumped up. This is the largest population school that we help with school supplies so I’m starting this drive early to give us more time to work on it. Please send what you can and thanks so much for your continued kindness and generosity!

Let me know what you are donating and I’ll update the tally here.
